About the role

Quality Technician - 1st Shift

Holden, MA | $26.00 - $28.00/hr | Contract to Hire

Mural Group is partnering with a global specialty chemical and materials manufacturer to hire a Quality Technician for their Holden, Massachusetts facility. This is a 1st shift, Monday through Friday role open to candidates with hands-on lab testing and color matching experience. If you have been doing quality or lab work on a rotating schedule and want straight days at better pay, this is worth a conversation.

The Schedule

Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM. No evenings. No weekends.

What You Will Be Doing

This is a lab and quality role, not a production floor position. You will be the technical resource the production team calls when a batch needs evaluation or adjustment.

  • Test production batches against customer and internal specifications and determine pass/hold/adjust disposition
  • Recommend and develop adjustments to batches that do not meet specifications
  • Test incoming raw materials and verify supplier Certificates of Analysis
  • Complete and issue COA documentation to customers
  • Record all test results and maintain reference files in SAP
  • Verify calibration and accuracy of gauges and test equipment
  • Participate in complaint investigations and corrective action processes as needed
  • Follow all safety rules and PPE requirements throughout the shift

What We Are Looking For

  • High school diploma or GED
  • 1 year of color matching experience - spectrophotometer or colorimeter operation, evaluating color against a master standard, and making or recommending adjustments
  • 1 year of quality or lab testing experience in a manufacturing environment
  • 1 year of production experience to understand the floor context your testing supports
  • Experience recording quality data in SAP or a comparable ERP or LIMS system
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds occasionally and work in an industrial environment with required PPE
  • Reliable transportation to Holden, MA - this is an on-site role
  • Forklift license or willingness to obtain one
